Origin[]

Its exact origins are unknown, but it was supposedly used by an individual who would eventually become deified as the Hellenistic Olympian deity Hephaestus. The veracity of these claims and general timeline of events remains unclear to this day.

Effects[]

This anvil contains a near infinite supply of energy that is tapped into when struck. Metals shaped on this artifact require no external heat to be forged and tend to become stronger as they are tempered while worked.

Fires caused by the sparks that come from the anvil burn indefinitely, and are fueled by the spiritual energy, or 'aura' of the crafter.

Collection[]

This anvil was discovered by Alexander the Great during his campaign. Sparks from the anvil were used to ignite the root tips of the Tree of Idun and create the Eldunari heart of the Warehouse.
